Zombie, the most famous and probably most amazing song they ever wrote.
50. How many albums do you own by 20? (Melanie C)
4, and I think it’s all she recorded as Melanie C. I only listen to 3 though. Reason is not a great album… So that leaves me with the breakthrough record – Northern Star – and two best, latest CDs - This Time and Beautiful Intentions.
This year I was most surprised with the fact that some of the artist – even though they moved quite a bit on my Top 50 List – still had the same questions as the last time. And the answers were the same too! It was also pretty cool to see how my taste changed (not a lot) and what artists I discovered/rediscovered. The biggest jump on the list is Florence + The Machine – from nowhere to number 7! Also – the Top 3 stayed unchanged.
